VGA's will always be a failure, as will the gamers who always flock to those styles of games only. It goes to show that American developers only need to slap realistic graphics on a game, slap a brand name on it, and make it gritty and brown, and the good little puppets will flock to it like white on rice.

This statement fails considering the walking dead have a comic book style to it with less gritty and brown in it. Jusayin

Wii U game and market the Wii U to the gamer, instead they make commercials with some people with children singing and jumping around holding a Wii U gamepad. Clearly Nintendo is not making the Wii U connect with the hardcore gamer, a huge issue already for the system

Kids arn't gamers now? Or do you have to play games with extensive amount of gore and unnecessary cursing to be a hardcore gamer?

You were right about them being nominated because they were the best games of the year? Mass Effect was amazing (minus the ending) and AC3, while I haven't played it yet, my brother has, and he says it's amazing.

Same reason Last of Us will be nominated, because it will be an amazing game. Ni No Kuni, Epic Mickey, 2D Mario are not Game of the Year caliber. They simply aren't.

Xenoblade, I could see as I've only heard good things about it. The others; no.

You know why you say no? You don't say no, because you've played the games I've mentioned. You say no, because they're not m-rated, from established 5-10 year brands called AAA titles, and they aren't gritty and realistic.

It's the problem with gamers these days. They're too insecure. They can only flock to the safe house, instead of thinking outside of the box.

My 10 year old son beat his first game when he was 9. It was Final Fantasy IV (USA II) on the Super Nintendo. He isn't biased toward graphics, games from established brands, systems, or games that are gritty and rated M. Daddy raised him to be a real gamer. He will grow up to like fun games, not judge them by their looks.

But the Wii U IS suppose to reach for those gamers. Which is why they are trying to attract third party developers. Nintendo not supporting those games shows that they need try harder.
